Sorry, I think that classes as a whoosh. The three dots may be an indication that what I said was intended to be irony.

If so,fair enough and time for me to spend 10 minutes outside the class room door for not realising,practising my tables

Under Tory cund plans, if all students do not know their times tables on leaving primary school for 2 years in a row, a school can be forced into being an academy. How stupid! Whilst I acknowledge that rapid recall of multiplication facts is a good thing, there is no way on God's earth that all children are capable of learning them.

Why not? We all did when I was at primary school - it was one of the basic foundation stones of our education!


Don't get me wrong, it's something that all teachers aim for. However, to expect all children to learn them is short sighted.
In all schools I've taught in there has been a wide range of abiliies in a class. With the best will in the world, there will always be one or two who for one reason or another won't manage it.
Morgan should know this, so to use it as a punitive way into forced academisation is clearly a political move.

Just out of curiosity what sort of percentage rate would you deem acceptable?


Above about 80 to 85 percent

So if a 80% target was offered by the government you would be quite happy with that figure? I have to agree 100% in any event is unachievable.


You didn't answer my question?

£1billion worth of public assets transferred to private hands.
No wonder Morgan and Hunt are pushing them through.

You/David Icke/Tony Blair/Mandelson/Campbell/Balls/Miliband/Kinnock/Prescott/Livingstone/the former Screaming Lord Sutch. A first eleven to be proud of. No-one saves, no-one scores, everybody divides their day equally between conspiracy theorising and waffle. And no-one actually ever does anything. Glad I don't live in your La La Land - and glad you don't teach my kids, fair to say..

 


Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it..

So because it was reported on mums net it's not true.
It relates to the thread because the coalition are doing all they can to wrest schools away from local authority (public) control to private hands.

Actually it's because I care about kids education that I campaign against academies and free schools. .

Hypocrite.

Both left and right, yourself too as 'Divisional Union Secretary' or whatever self important tag you give yourself, use education as political football.

Your posts on here reek of it and are ideologically driven.
